Arizona Diamondbacks™ right fielder Gerardo Parra became the first player to win two, outfield position-specific Awards since Rawlings reverted back to its inaugural setup of honoring left fielders, center fielders and right fielders separately. Parra won his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award as a left fielder in 2011.

Milwaukee Brewers™ center fielder Carlos Gomez is the first Brewer to win a Rawlings Gold Glove Award since shortstop Robin Yount did in 1982, ending the longest drought between winners in the Award's 57-year history.

Each manager and up to six (6) coaches on his staff vote from a pool of qualified players in their League, and cannot vote for players on their own team. For the first time in its 57-year history, Rawlings added a sabermetric component to the Rawlings Gold Glove Award selection process, as part of its new collaboration with the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). The SABR Defensive Index comprised of approximately 25 percent of the overall selection total, with the managers and coaches' vote continuing to carry the majority.

"The Rawlings Gold Glove Award is one of the most iconic awards in all of sports, and this year's inclusion of the new SABR Defensive Index on the managers and coaches' ballots and as part of the selection process reaffirms our goal to evolve the Award platform as the definitive industry standard honoring defensive excellence at the highest level of baseball," said Mike Thompson, executive vice president and general manager, diamond sports at St. Louis-based Rawlings.

Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado and Atlanta Braves™ shortstop Andrelton Simmons had two of the best statistical defensive seasons in history in 2013, helping them earn their first Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Other first-time honorees include Toronto Blue Jays™ pitcher R.A. Dickey, Arizona Diamondbacks™ first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez.

Unlike last year when only two teams had multiple winners, six teams accounted for 14 of the 18 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, led by Baltimore and Kansas City (three recipients each) with Arizona, Boston, Colorado and St. Louis just behind with two winners apiece.
